★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Temple is small and less famous. As this is a shaktipeeth you should not miss out to see the deity.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The long queue at Kashi Vishwanath Temple forced me to take a detour and visit the Vishalakshi temple. Another lesser known Peeth. If you are visiting Kashi Vishwanath then you should visit this one also. It's close by. Being unheard has its advantages. Not crowded??.!!!!
One of the 51 Shakti Peeth's. It is a part of the holy triad with Kamakshi (Love Eyed) and Meenakshi (Fish Eyed). This is one of the 9 Gauri's of Kashi. If you are interested in knowing the most popular legends surrounding the temple you may ask the priest who would happily explain. The abode of Lord Vishnu is looked after and also kept clean.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ mandir is very nice but pandit ji will ask for money even if from your wish you offer in daan peti but still seek for money.
It is business of pandits to earn money at the name of god.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Sakthi peetam temple has to be developed. No one in UP Govt is taking care of this temple. No temple board signs to reach. No locals are helping. Bad surroundings.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This temple is located 600mts from the Main temple Gate 1.
It is one of the 18 Shakthi peetha.
We need to walk through the narrow streets and criss-cross.
It is not crowded anytime.
there are 2 idols one behind the other the Front idol was installed by Adi Shankaracharya and the second idol is the original.
This is constructed by south India and mostly south Indian people visits here.
Mobile phones and other electronic gadgets are allowed.
This temple remains open from 6 AM to 10 pm.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Annapurna, the goddess of food and form of Shiva's consort Parvati, is given the epithet Vishalakshi, the "wide-eyed". Her most famous temple stands at Varanasi, where patron goddess she is considered. The Skanda Purana narrates the tale of the sage Vyasa cursing Varanasi, as no one in the city offered him food. Finally, Vishalakshi appears in the form of a housewife and grants food to Vyasa. This role of Vishalakshi is similar to that of Annapurna, who offers food to her husband Shiva, whose hunger can be satiated by her food. Shiva gratified by Annapurna's food, establishes Varanasi and appoints her as its presiding goddess. The goddess Vishalakshi of the Varanasi temple may have been identified with Annapurna in early times, however over time became a distinct goddess, resulting in the goddess temples.
Vishalakshi, the "wide-eyed" goddess is often associated two other goddesses: Kamakshi, the "love-eyed" goddess of Kanchipuram and Minakshi, the "fish-eyed" of Madurai, prominently because of their similar names.Together the three are regarded the most important Goddess temples. While Vishalakshi dwells in North India, the other goddess temples are in Tamil Nadu, South India. South Indians venerated Vishalakshi for ages and have strong ties with the temple. South Indian Tamil people also helped renovate the temple in 1971.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This temple is in a very narrow street but a special one to visit as the south indian culture of the temple will remind you of Meenakshi Temple, Madurai.
I found out that there are two Murtis of Devi Vishalakshi, one after another at the same place. So you would have to see the 'Murti at Back' from the left window.
Please Do see it, as the murti at back is the original shaktipeeth murti and the one at front was founded by Adi shakaracharya. ❣️
